Principally recorded at Conway Studios, Los Angeles, California.

CELEBRITY SKIN was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.

"Celebrity Skin" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or A Group With Vocal and Best Rock Song. "Malibu" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

After getting more press than O.J. Simpson, Courtney Love and Hole went underground to put together this quality, guitar-driven rock/pop release. CELEBRITY SKIN is packed from beginning to end with up-tempo, hard rock gems that show Love's strength and direction as a songwriter. Co-writing several tracks on CELEBRITY SKIN is Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan ("Malibu", "Petals").

The title track is co-penned by Corgan with Love scripting the lyrics. Kicking into overdrive from the first chord, the song talks about the often-comical pursuit of fortune and fame. The lyrics on "Hit So Hard" make you wonder whether Love is talking about domestic abuse or the drop-dead feeling that results from spotting the most beautiful boy in the world across the room? The lyrics are smart enough to support both theories. Other tracks to check out are "Awful," "Reasons To Be Beautiful" and "Boys On The Radio."

Hole's 1999 Australian Tour edition 2CD set (includes 6-track bonus CD featuring 5 live tracks)

Australian tour-only release features a six track bonus CD.

Hole: Courtney Love (vocals, guitar); Eric Erlandson (guitar); Melissa Auf Der Maur (bass); Patty Schemel (drums).

Additional personnel: David Campbell, Craig Armstrong (strings); Michael Beinhorn, Paul DeCarli, Max Risenhoover, Chris Vrenna, Nick Franglen (programming).

Rolling Stone (9/17/98, pp.95-96) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...high-impact, rock-fueled pop....The album teems with sonic knockouts....It's accessible, fiery and intimate--often at the same time. Here is a basic guitar record that's anything but basic..."
Spin (1/99, p.91) - Ranked #11 on Spin's list of "Top 20 Albums of '98."
Spin (10/98, pp.136-138) - 9 (out of 10) - "...this is a magnificent pop record....CELEBRITY SKIN carries the conversation beyond the traditional postpunk loop of raw power and pretty poison, dirty glam and curdled self-loathing...."

Them Crooked Vultures CD  (2009)

Celebrity Skin album
CD $11.19  SALE 1 stars Top 100
Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked Vultures brings to mind Homme's projects more than Grohl's or Jones', it's largely due to his role as lead vocalist and how guitar can push a rhythm section as powerful as this to the side, dominating with its grinding riffs and solos. Homme's predilection for precision does reign supreme -- when the group stretches out, even wallowing in the murk on "Interlude with Ludes," there's the sense ...

Rosanne Cash List CD  (2009)

Celebrity Skin CD music
CD $15.09  4 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive ...

Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York on November 27-28, 1969. Returning to the American concert scene after a three-year layoff, the Rolling Stones recorded GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! during a triumphant two-date stand at Madison Square Garden in late November 1969 that found B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner opening for them. Having amassed an impressive recorded output during their three years away from touring, the Stones peppered their sets with hits, including "Honky Tonk Women," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Street Fighting Man." Tipping their collective hats to Chuck Berry, the band also included covers of "Carol" and "Little Queenie" alongside more blues-influenced numbers such as "Stray Cat Blues" and "Love In Vain." Having been a member of John Mayall's ...

Celebrity Skin songs

Brazilian expat DJ Marky became a known name on British shores with his surprising hit remix of Jorge Ben & Toquinho's "LK (Carolina Carol Bela)," but his mixing skills are what will keep him in the minds and hearts of drum'n'bass fans. Movement: The Brazilian Job does the curious a favor by slotting his most popular appearance -- plus a few other remixes (including fellow Brazilian Fernanda Porto's "Sambassim") -- into an hour-long mix of completely up-to-date jungle. Marky ranges pretty far with his set, but focuses on the dark stuff (Bad ...
Sleeper Catcher/Time Exposure
Little River Band Sleeper Catcher/Time Exposure CDs  (2002) Bonus Track

Celebrity Skin album
CD $11.95  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Originally released on Harvest (11783) & Capitol (12163). Includes liner notes by Al Fichera. Australia's Little River Band marked their creative peak with the album Sleeper Catcher in 1978. Their highest-charting single, "Reminiscing," and one of the groups finest ballads and second hit, "Lady," were both taken from that album. Unfortunately, by 1981's Time Exposure, the band's soft rock, laid-back charm sounded forced and slightly outdated. While this Collectables two-fer is an inexpensive way to acquire the Sleeper Catcher album, ...
War Prayers
Young People War Prayers CD  (2003)

Celebrity Skin CD music
CD $13.95  Audio Samples
An album full of tension and beauty, War Prayers expands on the prairie ruminations of Young People's stunning debut album in fascinating, and often contradictory, ways. "El Paso" begins the album on a warmer, brighter note than anything they achieved on their somber first album, but then songs such as "Dutch Oven" present Young People at their most abstractly brooding, with angry guitars swarming over Katie Eastburn's keening voice. Eastburn remains one of indie rock's most expressive vocalists: when she sings about the "flappin' of the feathers" on "Lord," she sounds like she's in a bird costume; on "Early Poetry" she's rapt, with little flaws and gasps giving the clarity of her voice more dimension and humanity. While War Prayers lacks the single-minded, god-fearing purpose of Young People, the album does provide more moods for Eastburn and the rest of the band to explore, from the sweetly anarchic "Ne'er Do Well" to the dark sensuality of "Stagecoach." Several songs do indeed sound like rituals in preparation for some kind of battle: on "Tammy Faye" the band chants "We are all going" backed by ominous drums; on "Rhumba," these drums sound like a cross between a reveille and a showy big-band rhythm as Eastburn sings, "If I should die/Box me up/Ship me home." The band also finds new ways to express its fluid, stream-of-consciousness approach on "Ask About the Dust," which moves from hushed vocals and brushed drums to an ecstatic burst of noise to a galloping finish so seamlessly that it's hard to believe that the song only lasts a little over two minutes. "Night of the Hunter," meanwhile, is a radical version of the spooky song from the classic film about the fly whose children flew into the moon. Beginning with a folky, almost childlike simplicity before turning punkabilly, it's one of the more unusual and ambitious songs from a band that is by its nature unusual and ambitious. Throughout ...
